It's part of what I do in order to keep my memory alive and kicking. Part of what I do in order to retain my visual memory. I sit and remember some of the more important headlines that I was able to see when I had enough sight. They are not all happy ones, but ones that stand out in my mind. It's my way of remembering letters on a page.
1979: From the Montreal Star – Habs win fourth Stanley Cup!
1981: From the Montreal Gazette – Trudeau returned to power in sweeping majority!
1996: From the Toronto Star – Dianna dead!
1999: From the Toronto Star – JFK Kennedy JR lost at sea!
You may think that I may be a bit morbid for thinking of some of these but it's my way of trying to keep visualizing the letters on a page. Of course there is much more that I remember but these are just a few.
